So on the open cockpit tubs like the DMC, Ural, Freedom rigs how do you keep sun and rain off the monkey? I've seen a few flimsy Bimini-looking things that probably don't handle 90mph desert crossings well nor keep the inside dry in a driving rain. I don't like the Munstermobile look of my Hannigan ragtop but it sure has held up well to years of abuse!

The problem with that is simply the sitting IN a sidecar is not the same as sitting ON a motorcycle. You get - generally - less airflow when it's hot and more water pooling when it's coming down. I don't know what's commercially available, but it would be certainly possible to build both a Bimini and full enclosed top that would hold up to anything you could ride a motorcycle through.

The biggest challenge would be making a full top that was weather and wind tight but still easy to enter/exit, and - if you wanted- easy to fold up when it wasn't needed.
